Re: what stored intelligence?
Sorry but again that does not seem to support anything approaching "intelligence".

Re: Wow!!
At least show where Swain suggests "Nature's innate Intelligence".

Re: innate intelligence
No, the examples you gave are not intelligence even under your unintelligent definition of intelligence.
​
What is described in Swain work is simply the explanation of why two Lincoln Logs can mate and why two Legos can mate but why a Lego and a Lincoln Log will not fit together.
​
No intelligence needed,

Re: Wow!!
Do you think that sometimes carbon decides to become a diamond while at other times it decides to become coal?

Summation
As I pointed out in Message 9, a hydrogen atom does not decide whether or not it wants to attach to an oxygen atom. So far there has been zero evidence presented in support of Nature's innate intelligence.
